More BULLSHIT - PETA & Ingrid Newkirk

I'm all for the ethical treatment of animals.  Who isn't?   But I have always been rather against their methods and extreme exaggerations of the way things are.   There are always people that commit atrocities against animals and people...and those are the videos they like to show to gain support and sympathy.   They show the one guy in a thousand that beats the shit out of his dog....or makes the cow's last few minutes on earth even more miserable before it's turned into a tasty burger. just kidding (well...kinda)

We all are disgusted by these things and would like them to stop.  But violence against people like the humane society manager in this video.....or scientists trying to come up with cures for many of the diseases that afflict us is simply wrong and counter-intuitive bullshit.

There is evidence suggesting that PETA's leader Ingrid Newkirk was directly involved in facilitating the fire-bombing of a university laboratory. It is shown in the second part of the above clip.  WTF?!?!?!?!  They don't want animals hurt, but they have no problem if some janitor working midnights gets hit by a molotov cocktail?????  F*** that!!!

I have to say in conclusion that I do respect some aspects of the animal right and environmentalist movements.   Increased awareness is needed in many areas.   But I also find it revolting how so many people are so extreme in the beliefs of animal rights, but seem completely indifferent on issues like mental health. You just know these are the sort of people that would walk by a homeless person, sneering and judging them... or worse.    I think we all need to do our best to protect nature and all the creatures of this earth.   But in the interest of evolution (and common sense) we should be more focused on human rights and ensuring that no human being on this planet goes through what these animals sometimes do.   It's still happening, more than most people know.... or would like to admit.
